Talk me outta a Gold Foil Telecatser

[heffus]

Purty guitar but they sound like poo from what I've heard.

 

[Bruxist]

If you don't like the gold foils, looks like you can put firebirds in!

Yeah, I have yet to find a demo that impresses me.

Mike Lemmo makes anything sound good, but nothing in this demo did anything for me:

Nothing says hipster like a running a guitar that could have been purchased from an old Sears catalog.

“hipster” is an entirely meaningless word in 2023.

Pretty sure it got the point across.

Yes. Thier worst parts have permeated the cultural zeitgeist and infected everything, as they exploded and oozed thier gatekeeping elitism on the world.
They're gone, but it's too late to stop them.
Shame, CL guitars sold by hipsters were never set up, never had wear, and were always really clean.....

 

[Maricopa]

To all these folks bagging on vintage Gold Foils (as opposed to the various new 'gold foils' that are just P-90s and other standard designs) I say....more for me!

The guitars they went in were often crap, but the pickups are 'Gold' when it comes to tone.

No idea what the point was. 50s and 60s catalog guitars have been cool for 20 years now, but we're talking about a fender with chocolate wrappers on it's pickups.

Good riddance if so. So what happened to the hipsters if that indeed is true?

They got older. They were just young people having their own style and doing dumb stuff, like young people do. Now they're older and new young people are having their own style and doing dumb stuff.

I thought the demo sounded good. The pups sound compressed in a unique way and also have nice clarity.

That the person using the word is kinda clueless? I haven’t seen a white belt and a Vulcan haircut on the same person in a long time.

For about $100 more you can get a US made Harmony Silhouette with a Mono gig bag and superior tones.

 

[4pickupguy]

no,…. don’t do it,… stop,..

Killer sound, but they're not Fender "gold foils". Also .17 gauge strings, and tuned to B.

Nah. The point sailed over your hipster head.

 

[cyclopean]

Nah. The point sailed over your hipster head.

You clearly have no idea what that word means.

 

[Si G X]

It's a no from me too .... at the moment anyway as I've not heard one yet, but 2 little sheets of gold mesh material on top of the pickups isn't going to sell me one.
